Aloha Aloha ✩ Harry Styles (Editing)

Chapter 10

Water fills my swim shorts completely and my fingers are wrinkled. A light breeze hits me when I reach the van for a towel. It is around 5:30 pm and we are laying in the edge of the parking in the restaurant next to the pond, almost sleeping.

"Tired?" I ask to Keanna.
"Tired," she replies.
"The fault..." I start.
"Don't you dare to do that joke Styles!" Louis shouts.

I dry my arms and chest and put on my shirt again, as well as the rest of the lads. I can see how Keanna starts shivering because of the cool air, but today I don't have any jacket to offer her, as any "blue prince" in every movie or book does.

"Why don't we get an ice cream from the restaurant?" Madison asks, pointing to the restaurant.
"That's a cool idea," Niall says, standing up after he ties up his converse.
"And a cool dessert," Liam says.

I stand up and droplets start falling from my shorts. Keanna sees me and grins, trying not to laugh.

"Don't laugh, it's uncomfortable," I say, smirking.

Madison and Keanna were having a chocolate ice cream with, again, macadamia nuts, Niall was having some brownies, and the rest of us were thinking of what to taste.

"I suggest you the flaming volcano drink," the waitress says, smiling toward Louis. "You can share it with your many friends. It has rum, brandy, lemon juice, orange juice, and other slight ingredients." Then she winks to Louis and he smiles.
"I think it's a nice idea, give us one please," Louis says, staring at the menu otherwise.
"Alright," she says, a little angry and goes away.
"She tried to flirt with you!" Keanna exclaims, laughing.
"Everyone does," Madison says, grinning.
"But I am truly, madly, deeply, already in love," Louis says.
"Aw," Keanna says. "Your girl is lucky, isn't she?"
"Yeah," Louis says.
"And you Zayn?" Keanna asks. "You are going to marry, right?"
"Yes, I am," Zayn says, smiling.
"I can't imagine how beautiful the wedding would be," Madison says.
"Well, you don't need to imagine it," he says. "Consider yourselves invited."
"Oh my gosh, really?" Keanna asks, almost dropping her ice cream.
"Yes!" Zayn exclaims, laughing. "I'd like to see you there!"
"Me too," Niall says. "Reunion with the Hawaiian gurls."
"That could be so fun," Keanna says, smiling toward her ice cream.

The waitress comes with a big bowl with our drink. She places on the table carefully and leaves seven straws.

"Enjoy," she says, no more disgusted.

It is a dark reddish drink. Ice cubes and fruit pieces are floating. It looks appetizing. In the centerof the bowl, there is a form of a volcano, and fire flashes through it.

"Wow," Niall says, laughing.
"I never saw that before!" Keanna exclaims, surprised. Her smile never leaving her face.
"Who wants to drink?" Liam asks, taking a straw.
"We are sixteen," Keanna and Madison say.
"Oh right," I say, remembering what Keanna said in the game we played in the van. She was born in 1998.
"Well, more for me!" Louis says, being the first one to take a sip from the bowl. "Delicious, really!"

I taste it then, and as Lou said, it was delicious. It doesn't feels like being in the clouds but it is truly hilarious.

✩ ✩ ✩

I stop drinking in the third taste like Zayn and Niall. Though Louis and Liam... they don't. They finish the drink and keep ordering some others, getting drunker and drunker. Though they are really funny. Right now, Keanna can't stop laughing again, just like everybody who's not drunk.

"What was your name?" Liam asks Madison.
"She's Madison Liam," I say, laughing.
"Nice to meet you Maddie!" he exclaims, shaking her hand.
"You actually forgot her name?" Zayn asks.
"I did," he says. "Wait, I forgot it again, what was it?"
"Liam!" Keanna exclaims.
"Oh yeah, Maddie," Liam says, laughing.
"Hey, this music is very negligent, unsatisfactory and unacceptable!" Louis exclaims, looking to a man playing the guitar softly.
"Louis, all those words mean almost the same," Madison says.
"That's what I meant to indicate," he says.
"When Louis is drunk, he uses a complicated vocabulary," Zayn whisper, making the girls to giggle. "And when Liam is drunk, he gets part-time amnesia."
"Hey Lili, let's change this music!" Louis exclaims.
"Alrighty," Liam says.

Both stand up and go to the artist who's now singing a different song, but still soft and slow. Louis whispers something to him and he suddenly stops. Nobody in the restaurant was really interested to turn around to see why he stopped. The man nods and gives Liam the microphone.

"Hello?" he says.
"Oh no," I say, laughing.
"What are they doing?" Niall asks, grinning.
"Do you know a band called One Direction?" Louis asks, taking away the microphone from Liam, who almost falls. Then some gasps can be heard.
"Well that band is going to play here," he says. "Now!"

I hear claps and screams from all the restaurant. Liam comes to the table and motions us to stand up. Shyly, we do.

✩ ✩ ✩

"A new song?" Zayn asks. "Would you like that?"
"Yes!" some people exclaim.
"What about Steal my Girl?" Niall asks, and looks toward Liam.
"Yeah," Liam says. "That would be nice!"
"Oh my gosh, he's drunk!" a fan exclaims, laughing.

Madison and Keanna are now standing up within the small crowd. They are both smiling and slightly laughing. Then Keanna looks at me, making me confident. Somebody starts playing the melody of the song and she smiles wider, clapping. Others start clapping as a result.

She's been my queen since we were sixteen
We want the same things, we dream the same dreams, alright, alright

She makes a little dance and I look at her. I bite my lip and try not to laugh. She's making me confident on purpose. As she dances, she hits Madison, which is also on purpose.

Everybody wanna steal my girl
Everybody wanna take her heart away

I furrow my eyeborws funnily and smile toward her, and she laughs, louder.

Na na na na na na (oh, yeah)
Na na na na na na (alright)

But by that time, her smile fades. I can't hear her laughing anymore. Madison turns to her and pats her back. Keanna says something to her and Madison nods.

Keanna goes out of the restaurant.
